I definitely don't know everything going on but armenia seems like a decent country and turkey is pro Azerbaijan and against armenia so that helps me decide armenia is probably in the right.
Heavy clashes ongoing between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

I've read up on the armenian genocide and it's completely barbaric. I can't believe it's not more widely known or talked about.

Much of the hate is, yep, you guessed it; religion. The Mooslums hate the Xtians....

I've been vaguely aware of this due to having worked with an Armenian immigrant who was just as interested in history and with whom I swapped service stories (him from the Soviet Army before the dissolution). This conflict has been going on for a very long time and has yet to draw Russia and Turkey in directly. It's a very weird web of supporters.
The U.S., Russia, and (I just learned today) France are the big players that support Armenia. Iran seems to be pro-Armenia as well. Strangely to me, Israel joins with most Muslim countries in supporting Azerbaijan. Also, it seems like all the countries that Russia has given the shaft recently like Ukraine and Georgia support Azerbaijan.
I don't see much reason for most of the world to intervene. With America and France supporting Armenia, I doubt NATO would support Turkish intervention and Turkish intervention would almost certainly draw Russia to give Armenia material support. Turkish direct intervention would more than likely screw Azerbaijan as it wouldn't stand a chance if Russia intervened on Armenia's behalf. If Iran also jumped in in Armenia's favor, Azerbaijan would be extra-screwed. I don't see the U.S. likely to get involved.

We used them to stage nukes and air assets at incirlik, and to choke off the bosphorus straight during the cold war. IMO.
We only cared because of their geographic location was convenient for us.
We have no need for them now. Cut them off and let them sink.
We should also stay the hell out of any negotiations. Not our area of expertise.

The difficulty on the international stage is that there seldom are *any* good guys.

I have no doubt Putin can solve this dispute in his usual style.
Vlad: Hi fellows, this is how we solve problem, yada yada yada, (leaving them enough wiggle room to save face).
The one that refuses to go along will have a tragic air plane disaster on the way home, or contract the covid with symptoms eerily similar to risin poisoning. Done.

The Turks have screwed Armenians and Greeks for centuries. Greece is starting to cause problems on the western side of Turkey and the Armenians have the East. Russia will back both Armenian and Greek forces. The US forced Europe to take Turkey on in NATO. The Europeans hate the Turks. There’s been trouble there for over 600 years.
If your interested research Greek enslavement by the Ottomans. The great Diaspora of Constantinople. The Armenian Genocide. The Turks did unthinkable vile things.

Throughout history Russia took the role of a defender of persecuted Christian minorities from the Ottomans and Persians. Pretty much all of these minorities as nations sided against Russia at every opportunity they had. Bulgaria for example wouldn't even exist as a country if Russia didn't fight a war with Turkey to stop Bulgarian genocide. Bulgaria sided against Russia in two world wars and currently a member of NATO. Russia defended Georgians from total extermination by the Persians. Independent Georgia became hostile to Russia. Although Greek people are very friendly and sympathetic to Russia, Greece is a member of NATO. Greek Orthodox Church leadership undermined the influence of Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, the Greek Orthodoxy has turned the way of Catholicism. Both churches are worried about the $. The Greek church has splintered. Their is the “old calendar“ that acknowledges and sides with the Russians; and the modern Greek Orthodoxy that condemns everyone except themselves.
